Last Christmas Album Lyrics

Last Christmas

(Wham!)

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognize me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart, ooh-hoo
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away (you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (special)

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special (special, someone)

Too Funky (Single Edit)

(George Michael)

Hey, you're just too funky for me
I gotta get inside of you
And I'll show you heaven, if you let me
Hey, you're just too funky for me
I gotta get inside (I gotta get inside)
I gotta get inside of you (so, when will that be?)
I watch your fingers working overtime (overtime)
I've got to thinking that they should be mine
I'd love to see you naked, baby
I'd like to think that sometime, maybe
Tonight, if that's alright, yeah

Hey, you're just too funky for me
I gotta get inside of you (won't let you go)
I won't let you, no-no
Hey, you're just too funky for me
I gotta get inside (I gotta get inside)
I gotta get inside of you (I'll let you love me)
I watch you drinkin' and I take my time (take my time)
I watch you sinkin' all over that cheap red wine
I've got to see you naked, baby
I'd like to think that sometime, maybe
Tonight my goal's in sight, yeah

Baby, baby, baby, why do you do this to me?
Won't let you go (won't let you go)
You're such a, you're such a
Baby, baby, baby, why do you do this to me?
I've got to know (I've got to know)
(I'm gonna be the kind of lover that you never had)
Hey, you're just too funky
(You're never gonna have another lover in your bed)
You're just too funky for me

(Would you like me to seduce you, is that what you're trying to tell me?)
(Everybody wants a lover like that)
Baby
(Everybody wants a lover like that) Yeah! Yeah!
(Everybody wants a lover like that) Everybody, everybody
(Everybody wants a lover like that)
(Is that what you are trying to tell me?)
(Everybody wants a lover, everybody wants a lover like that
Everybody wants a lover, everybody wants a lover like that
Everybody wants a lover, everybody wants a lover like that
Everybody wants a lover, everybody wants a lover like that)
(Would you like me to seduce you?)
You're such a, you're such a
(Would you like me to seduce you?) Yeah! Yeah!
(Would you like me to seduce you?) You're such a, you're such a
Yeah! Yeah!
(Would you stop playing with that radio of yours
I'm trying to get to sleep!)

Fantasy

(George Michael)

Give you all the lovin' that your heart
Give you all the lovin' that your heart
Desires

One day you say you love me
The next you tell me you don't
One day you say you will
But the next you tell me you won't
Hey little baby
There ain't much point in hanging around yeah
One day you make me feel like your love is in my hands
One day you say you'll stay
But next you're changing your plans
Hey little baby
Ain't much point in hanging around, ain't much point in hanging around yeah
'Cause' if you ain't got time for me I'll find another fantasy

It is kind of funny that you think that I am the boy to make you cry
I can make you happy
If only for a while
Little baby, oh little baby I can give you all the loving that your heart desires
If you ain't got time for me I'll find another fantasy

I say it could be the price of love
Could the price of hate
What am I guilty of
Why do you make me wait
So long I don't know your intentions
Look to the sky's above
I am in the hands of fate push till it gets to shove
I have got to know for heavens sake
Is this love, (is this love) is this love or invention
Baby can't you see I'll find another fantasy

Give you all the love that your heart, oh yeah
Give you all the love that your heart
Give you all the love that your heart desires
(Baby I can't) baby can't you see I'll find another fantasy

You hang around with people who are sure to make you cry
I can make you happy if only for a while
Little baby oh, oh little baby
I can give you all the lovin' that your heart desires
Give you all the love that your heart desires oh yeah
(I'm gonna make you feel so sexy) if only for a while little baby
Oh little baby I can give you all the loving that your heart desires
If you ain't got time for me I'll find another fantasy

(You take, you take) you take someones heart and you kick it around
Keep on picking it up
So you can watch it come down
I don't know what I am suppose to do
Why I wait for you to make up your mind
Could you please be so kind
When you know what to do I'll be in the next room
But if you make it to late I may be in the next day (Hmm)

If you ain't got time for me
I find another fantasy
If you ain't got time for me
I find another fantasy
If you ain't got time for me
I find another fantasy

Praying for Time (Remastered)

(George Michael)

Do you think we have time?
Do you think we have time?

These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers

This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much
But we'll taking our chance to say
I sang twenty years and a day
But nothing changed
The human race found some other guy
And walked into the flame

It's hard to love, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
Then maybe we should all be praying for time

Doo oh oh
Do you think we have time?
Do you
Do you think we have time?

These are the days of the empty hand
Oh, you hold on to what you can
And charity, charity is a coat you wear twice a year

This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there is over here

So you scream from behind your door
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much but I'll take my chances
I sang twenty years and a day
'Cause nothing changed
The human race found some other guy
And walked into the flames

It's hard to love, Jesus, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope, there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
Then maybe we should all be praying for time

Doo doo doo
Do you think we have time?
Do you
Do you think we have time?
Lord, give us time

Faith (Remastered)

(George Michael)

Well, I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body
I know not everybody has got a body like you
But I gotta think twice before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play because I played them, too

Oh, but I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
Oh, when that love comes down without devotion
Well, it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showin' you the door

'Cause I gotta have faith
I gotta' have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I got to have faith, faith, faith

Baby, I know you're askin' me to stay
Say "Please, please, please don't go away"
You say I'm givin' you the blues
Maybe you mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules

Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh, baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
Well, I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for somethin' more

Yes, I gotta have faith
Ooh, I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

I'll just have to wait
Because I've got to have faith
I gotta have faith
I've got to, got to, got to have faith

Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor (I just gotta have faith)
Oh, oh, baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
Well, I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for somethin' more

'Cause I gotta have faith
Ooh, I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith

Waiting for That Day (Remastered)

(George Michael)

So every day I see you in some other face
They crack a smile, talk a while
Try to take your place
My memory serves me far too well

I just sit here on this mountain thinking to myself
You're a fool boy
Why don't you go down
Find somebody
Find somebody else
My memory serves me far too well

It's not as though we just broke up
It's not as though it was yesterday, yeah
But something I just can't explain
Something in me needs this pain
I know I'll never see your face again

C'mon now
I've got to be strong now

Now everybody's talking about this new decade
Like you say the magic numbers
Then just say goodbye to the stupid mistakes you made
Oh my memory serves me far too well

Don't you know that
The years will come and go
Some of us will change our lives
Some of us still have nothing to show
Nothing, baby (nothing, baby)
But memories (but memories)

And if these wounds
They are self-inflicted
I don't really know
How my poor heart could have protected me
But if I have to carry this pain
If you will not share the blame
I deserve to see your face again

C'mon now
You don't have to be so strong now
Come back, come back, come back, come back
Come back, come back, come back, come back

Oh, come back to me darling
I will make it worth your while
Come back to your baby
I miss your kiss
I miss your smile
Seems to me the peace I search to find
Ain't going to be mine until you say you will
Don't you keep me waiting for that day
I know, I know, I know you hear these words that I say

I know, I know, I know
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want, oh

Heal the Pain (Remastered)

(George Michael)

Let me tell you a secret
Put it in your heart and keep it
Something that I want you to know
Do something for me
Listen to my simple story
And maybe we'll have something to show

You tell me you're cold on the inside
How can the outside world
Be a place that your heart can embrace
Be good to yourself
'Cause nobody else
Has the power to make you happy

How can I help you?
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
That you're feeling inside
Whenever you want me
You know that I will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine

He must have really hurt you
To make you say the things that you do
He must have really hurt you
To make those pretty eyes look so blue

He must have known
That he could
That you'd never leave him
Now you can't see my love is good
And that I'm not him

How can I help you?
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
Don't you let me inside?
Whenever you want me
You know that I will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine

Won't you let me in
Let this love begin
Won't you show me your heart now
I'll be good to you
I can make this thing true
Show me that heart right now

Who needs a lover
That can't be a friend
Something tells me I'm the one you've been looking for
Oh, if you ever should see him again
Won't you tell him you've found someone who gives you more
Someone who will protect you
Love and respect you
All those things
That he never could bring to you
Like I do
Or rather I would
Won't you show me your heart
Like you should

How can I help you?
Please let me try to
I can heal the pain
That you're feeling inside?
Whenever you want me
You know that I will be
Waiting for the day
That you say you'll be mine

Won't you let me in
Let this love begin
Won't you show me your heart now
I'll be good to you
I can make this thing true
And get to your heart somehow

One More Try (Remastered)

(George Michael)

I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don't just let me go

'Cause teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me no
So you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go

And teacher
There are things
That I don't want to learn
Oh the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
Let me go

And teacher
There are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh so I don't want to learn
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who just isn't willing to try

I'm so cold
Inside
Maybe just one more try

Fastlove, Pt. 1

(George Michael)

(Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Ooh ooh, baby baby)

Looking for some education
Made my way into the night
All that bullshit conversation
Baby, can't you read the signs?

I won't bore you with the details, baby
I don't even wanna waste your time
Let's just say that maybe
You could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right

But if you're looking for fast love
If that's love in your eyes, it's more than enough
Had some bad love
Some fast love, is all that I've got on my mind

(Ooh ooh, baby baby)
Ooh, yeah yeah (ooh ooh, baby baby)
What's there to think about, baby?
(Ooh ooh, baby baby) hey baby, oh yeah (ooh ooh, baby baby)

Looking for some affirmation, made my way into the sun
My friends got their ladies, they're all having babies
But I just wanna have some fun

I won't bore you with the detail, baby
You gotta get there in your own sweet time
Let's just say that maybe, you could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right

But if you're looking for fast love
That's love in your eyes, it's more than enough
Had some bad love
Some fast love, is all that I've got on my mind

(Ooh ooh, baby baby)
Ooh, yeah yeah (ooh ooh, baby baby)
What's there to think about, baby?
(Ooh ooh, baby baby) get yourself some lessons (ooh ooh, baby baby)

So close I can taste it now baby
So close

In the absence of security, I made my way into the night
Stupid Cupid keeps on calling me
And I see lovin' in his eyes
I miss my baby, oh yeah
I miss my baby tonight
So why don't we make a little room in my BMW, babe
Searchin' for some peace of mind
Hey, I'll help you find it
I do believe that we are practicing the same religion

Oh, you really oughta get up now, that's right
Oh, you really oughta get up

Looking for some affirmation
(Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down
Gotta get up, get down

Jitterbug

Jitterbug

You put the boom boom into my heart (hoo, hoo)
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts

Goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same
But something's bugging you (ha-ha, ha-ha)
Something ain't right (ha-ha, ha-ha)

Move On

(George Michael)

I've been in and out of favor with lady luck
I gotta tell you
I've seen things I never wanted to see
I've got to get back on my feet
I feel like I've been sleeping
Sweet, sweet time
Has been a real good friend of mine

Waiting for that change of season
Oh the winter's been so long
Searching for that rhyme or reason
You've just got to

[Chorus]
Move on
Hold it together, move on
Life's so short, move on
Only time will set you free
You put your tears behind you
Better get yourself where you want to be
I think of all the days and nights I spent crying
And I move on

I've been in and out of favor with love
Because I gotta tell you
I've been things I never wanted to be
And then some angel called me up
He told me I was sleeping
Said "don't waste time 'cause even angels say goodbye"

Waiting for that change of season
Oh the winter's been so long
Searching for that rhyme or reason
You've just got to

[Chorus]

And oh, there goes another season
Getting hard to find a decent sonng to play
But oh, I guess I got my reasons
Everybody thinks I'm doing a.o.k
They ought to know by now

[Chorus]

I'm gonna be luck in love someday

Freedom! '90 (Remastered)

(George Michael)

I won't let you down
I will not give you up
Gotta have some faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
'Cause I would really, really love to stick around, oh yeah

Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be (Didn't know what I wanted to be)
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me (said I guess it was enough for me)
To win the race? A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll T.V.
But today the way I play the game is not the same, no way
Think I'm gonna get myself happy

I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I told you so
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone else I've got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me yeah yeah

Freedom! (I won't let you down)
Freedom! (I will not give you up)
Freedom! (Have some faith in the sound)
You've gotta give for what you take (It's the one good thing that I've got)
Freedom! (I won't let you down)
Freedom! (So please don't give me up)
Freedom! ('Cause I would really, really love to stick around)
You've gotta give for what you take

Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy
What a kick just a buddy and me (what a kick just a buddy and me)
We had every big-shot good time band on the run, boy
We were living in a fantasy (we were living in a fantasy)
We won the race, got out of the place
I went back home, got a brand new face
For the boys on MTV
But today the way I play the game has got to change, oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy

I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I stopped the show
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone I forgot to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me, yeah yeah

Freedom! (I won't let you down)
Freedom! (I will not give you up)
Freedom! (Have some faith in the sound)
You've gotta give for what you take (It's the one good thing that I've got)
Freedom! (I won't let you down)
Freedom! (So please don't give me up)
Freedom! ('Cause I would really, really love to stick around)
You've gotta give for what you take

Well it looks like the road to heaven
But it feels like the road to hell
When I knew which side my bread was buttered
I took the knife as well
Posing for another picture
Everybody's got to sell
But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were build to last

That's what you get (That's what you get)
That's what you get (I say that's what you get)
That's what you get (for changing your mind)
That's what you get for changing your mind

That's what you get
That's what you get (And after all this time)
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make me, oh yeah

All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me, yeah yeah

Freedom!
Freedom! (oh freedom)
Freedom! (my freedom)
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom! (hold on to my freedom)
Freedom!
Freedom! (my freedom)
You've gotta give for what you take
Give for what you, give for what you take yeah
Yeah, you've got to give for what you, give for what you, give

May not be what you want from me
Just the way it's got to be
Lose the face now
I've got to live, I've got to live, I've got to live

Praying for Time (Live)

(George Michael)

Do you think we have time?
Do you think we have time?

These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers

This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much
But we'll taking our chance to say
I sang twenty years and a day
But nothing changed
The human race found some other guy
And walked into the flame

It's hard to love, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
Then maybe we should all be praying for time

Doo oh oh
Do you think we have time?
Do you
Do you think we have time?

These are the days of the empty hand
Oh, you hold on to what you can
And charity, charity is a coat you wear twice a year

This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there is over here

So you scream from behind your door
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much but I'll take my chances
I sang twenty years and a day
'Cause nothing changed
The human race found some other guy
And walked into the flames

It's hard to love, Jesus, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope, there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
Then maybe we should all be praying for time

Doo doo doo
Do you think we have time?
Do you
Do you think we have time?
Lord, give us time
